XFS wasn't available at boot time.
You either need to build a kernel with XFS compiled in or
make an inital ramdisk with the xfs xfs_support and pagebuf modules included
A modified version of mkinitrd can be found in cmd/xfs/misc
You will also need to add the following to the append line in your lilo.conf
file.
ramdisk_size=2500
